If someone got up early to go on a trip, they bring him a Shofar and he blows it, a
Lulav and he shakes it, a Megillah and he reads it, and when the time comes to
say the Shema he says it. If someone got up early to be on a wagon or a boat, he
should pray the Shmone Esrei (at home before leaving) and when the time
comes to say the Shema he says it. R’ Shimon ben Elazar states the either way
(whether traveling foot, boat or wagon) he should say the Shma and then
Shmone Esrei (while traveling) , in order to have the blessing of redemption

Rashi: On Shabbat before Pesach, Shavuot, and Succot it was customary for
people to gather in the Beit Midrash early in the morning to hear a shiur on the
laws of the holiday. When the time came to say Shma, everyone would recite it in
the Beit Midrash while the shiur was in progress. They would then go out one by

they would gather 10 men and pray before they came.

According to Amemar, you don’t repeat Shmone Esrei if you forgot to say
tchu vkgh on the first night of a 2 day Rosh Chodesh
since you can make it up the next night. If you forgot tchu
vkgh on the second day of a 2 day Rosh Chodesh or on a 1 day
